Actually I once heard a guy say that no matter how little chance you have of actually winning the lottery, if you buy a ticket, your chances to win increase 100%...

I * cough * can win the local state lottery if I want to. but that wouldn't be such a sport does it? I mean other people have to buy the numbers and hope that they " shoot" it right while I * cough * just direct the lottery people to let me win.

so i need your help guys!

there is a 23million AUD jackpot this saterday and i need a number combination containing 45 balls numbered from 1 to 45 inclusive. and there is an additional 2 supplementary number. . cmon give me your suggestions. it cant hurt asking for suggestions can it? [img]tongue.gif[/img] .


for people who are remotely curious what im talking about. here is the link
https://www.ozlotteries.com/index.php

do note: im doing this just for kicks and im not a gambling fanatic or any negative thing related for it. if i win then i would be the happiest man on earth, if not.. well too bad [img]smile.gif[/img] . heck, i only spend .70 aud cents for one ticket and i always get 2 (thats the minimum). i cant believe some people paying as much as 500-1000+ dollars.. crazy .. even with 15,000 tickets, there is 15,000/ 8 million plus chance to win.. oh well.. im just rambling dont mind me..
I hate to be the one to break this to you mate, but - you've got buckley's of winning.

i'm pretty lucky....i've had needles shoved into my spine but i still walk/talk etc. i have given birth to three children, two on the large side of average, and one considered "large for gestational age." i have gone through 3 pregnancies without any major incedents, no pre-e, no gestational diabetes, nothing. just a bad back/hips and sleepless nights.

everyday one of my children amazes me, if not more. i always have food to eat, clothes to wear, and bed to curl up in. and despite lots of problems i still have a hubby to cuddle.

i am lucky.

I've never had particularly good luck nor particularly bad luck. Everything I have me or my parents have worked hard for and nothing has been down to luck. Then again, I've never done any gambling.

well, I could say that I was lucky once, I was at work, and the whole state was under a tornado warning, at 7 pm that night, a tornado came and destroyed the building, mostly made of glass anyway, well, when it first hit, I was sitting by a window, when a guy yelled to get away from the windows, so I jumped up and ran, when I looked back, the sign was right where I was just sitting, so I then ran to the counter, and ducked under it, just as I was getting under there, the wall fell right where I was just standing, and it knocked over the silverware bin, causing the steak knives to fall straight down as well, have to say, that was probably my luckiest day to date

Yeah, but zero times 100% is still zero.

I was shot twice, once in the neck and once in the back. I've broken my neck on a seperate occasion and am walking today, albeit, with a slight limp and I don't have a great deal of feeling on the left side of my body.

How's that for lucky?
